Starting on a New K-drama...Moon Embracing the Sun episode 1

Today I started watching another periodical drama [fictional] Moon Embracing the Sun. 

The Moon That Embraces the Sun

Just finished episode 1 for now, and although I find it hard to memorize the names, which is understandable, at least I try to remember the three lead characters of the drama. 

Summarizing the story of episode 1, Moon Embracing the Sun is a love story that will involve the three main characters. The two half brothers, one Crowned Prince [dongsaeng]and acknowledged by the King and the other one who is  older [hyung] who unfortunately is not favored and lives like any other noble man but with a good heart and who loves his dongsaeng.

The Crowned Prince is Lee Hyun [Yeo Jin Goo playing the child prince] and the half brother Yang Myung Goon [Lee Min Ho playing the child older brother] will both fell in love with a young miss [agassi] who belongs to a noble family named Heo Yeon Woo who later be called Wol [Kim Yoo Jung plays the child character]. I  remember Kim Yoo Jung as the young Dong Yi, a previous historical drama, too.

In episode 1, a Prince who the villains thought to be a threat to the King's position was plotted and killed, which was [un]fortunately witnessed by a shaman. She was then pursued and while on the run, she met a good hearted woman who is carrying a child then. the shaman had envisioned the child's future and saw that she will be the moon that will play a big part in the lives of the two suns who are the future crowned prince and his half brother. She promised the woman that she would always protect the child [moon] even after she dies.

This shaman had a close friend who was also a shaman, living inside the palace and she told her to find and protect the child. But unfortunately, she was unable to to tell her more.

Years passed and the three main characters were all young adult. Heo Yeon Woo's brother is a friend of Yang Myung Goon. I guess that this friendship will play a part on how Yeon Woo and Myung Goon will become closer.

It is still difficult to remember the names, yet, the story started good. I just can not resist writing something about it after finishing episode 1. Few screen caps only.:))
